Answer:

d. $17,700

Explanation:

considering accounting cost:              

1,400 book per semester x 3 semester = 4,200

500 dollars of book x 3 semester          =  1,500

Total explcit cost:                                        5,700

implicit cost (lost wages)

8,000 less 50% cost reduction =     4,000

then 4,000 per semester =             12,000

Total opportunity cost:                            12,000

Total cost for the product                        17,700
